We’ve had pagoda plants in our garden almost since we moved in, and they are impressive most of the year but they do die back in the winter (Margaret cuts them back once they lose all their leaves) … but now with summer weather, they are back and beautiful again!
Shannon Till has sponsored a second annual car stroll in nearby Oakland and, like last year, I headed over to admire the cars and take some photos …
I was particularly impressed with the Captain Marvel theme of this vehicle …
The Winter Garden Heritage Foundation has regular history displays at their museum location downtown, and last night had a talk by Tom Sorrells (one time local meterologist) entertainingly introducing the weather topic, and with information about the frequency of hurricanes, tornadoes, etc in our area … of course I took some photos!
After the talk we adjourned next door to the museum to take a look at their weather displays, up for this month … it was a shock to see information about the 1998 tornado that hit right in Winter Garden (I’d not heard of it before!)
